Quality control in the ceramic industry has lately started to reap the benefits of automation. However, quality control is still performed manually in many factories around the world, as a subset of the production batch is inspected by trained personnel for various visual defects such as cracks, ...

Agricultural products are graded based on their dimensions and quality. This grade is used to sort them and assign them to different sales channels. Each item may yield better income based when properly allocated according to its exact characteristics. Usually, higher grade and bigger agricultura...

Imprinting information on a silicon wafer is a complex multi-process task. In the wafer fabrication process, nanoimprinting process miniature patterns a coined on the wafer body using a variety of techniques (such as UV and thermal imprints). Defects can occur during the imprinting process, stemm...

Automatic detection and diagnosis of various types of machine failure is a very interesting precess in industrial applications. With the advancement of sensors and machine intelligence, the reliability of automatic product inspection and fault detection is ever increasing. Monitoring the health o...

Many vision-based inspection systems are nowadays integrated into the production lines of industrial materials. Camera-based scanning can already be found replacing human inspection in in-line production lines such as in steel, leather and fabrics manufacturing. The importance of inspection to pr...

Most of the world’s steel is manufactured in a process of continuous (stand) casting, a process introduced in the late 1950s. In this highly efficient process, metal is solidified into a semi-finished product, which is subsequently sent to the finishing mills. The semi-finished product is prone t...

Computer-based detection of defects is replacing manual inspection in a large variety fields, mainly owing to faster times and increased reliability. This is particularly true for inspection of computer hardware and all kinds of devices in high-technology production. One of our clients needed to ...
